They might.  You should be able to find them here:

   ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/contrib/kbwilliams-newlongs_dt00.zip

You can talk to K.B. Williams, who worked on that stuff (CC'ed), if
you have any questions.  (The first question I'd ask is whether
there's a newer version of these functions.)

That's the understatement of the year!  Adding wide character support
to DJGPP is a serious project that needs to be designed first.  (E.g.,
what representation will we use for wchar_t and how many bytes it will
take, what multibyte representation we will use for char * strings,
etc.)  I'd love to hear someone volunteer for the job, but please
don't underestimate it.

We do have j0, j1, jn, y0, y1, and yn (they are in libm.a).

Anyway, there's something strange with this list: I don't see some
functions that are in my Posix references, like the posix_spawn*
family.  (Adding some of that family to DJGPP would be IMHO a good
idea.)
